The youthful Watertown runner who only a week ago erased the Tufts Oval four-mile cross country record, and at 17 annexed the N.E. junior three-mile title, raced home the winner by six yards when McGlone doubled up in pain with the victory so near, and then recovered too late to retain the short lead he had maintained over Vogel for most of the distance. In addition to taking the coveted championship, Vogel earned himself an extra 24-hour furlough from his station at Tufts. Nineteen of the 21 starters crossed the finish line. One of hte two failing to go the distance was Johnny Kelley, still bothered by a leg injury received during last Sunday's 30-kilometer championship run. Kelley was forced to call it a day after going a little under two miles. Three teams were entered in yesterday's event, bot only one, the North Medford Club, had the necessary complement of five runners at the starting line ... This would ordinarly eliminate the team prize under the New England A.A.A.U. regulations, but due to war conditions the committee plans to meet shortly to discuss the possibility of awarding the trophy and medals to Fred Brown's runners from North Medford.
